Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hello,

 

@DanaB27 I am going to make the non-deductible traditional IRA contribution prior to April 18 and do the backdoor Roth IRA conversion.  When I tried entering the nondeductible contribution to the traditional IRA following the steps you listed, I did not see the step 11 “Choose Not to Deduct IRA Contributions” in my Home & Business version.  Did I miss something?  Turbo tax currently shows my contribution is not permitted and I need to pay 6% penalty for making excess contribution.  Can you please advise how to fix it?

 

Also, if I am going to rollover all traditional IRA to solo 401K prior to do the conversion, can I enter 0 for the basis in step 10?

 

Thanks a lot for your help!
